The Mississippi River defines this landscape where Missouri and Tennessee meet, creating a complex network of shifting banks and river-formed landmarks. Along the western bank in Pemiscot County, the small settlement of Cottonwood Point sits near the state line, positioned on a bend that has historically been susceptible to the river's whims, as evidenced by the nearby Midway Crevasse. The terrain is marked by remnants of former river channels like Half-Moon Lake and Half Moon Bayou, which reflect the delta's evolving hydrology.
